Heavenly Miracles

Life has its miracles
At times they may seem shy
Like a blushing child
Or a light red sky

They peek from beneath the covers
Hiding behind clouds soaring high


They come in many forms
Be it a love or perhaps new life
Bearing a child
Meeting your wife

Miracles gift us such colorful smiles
Dispelling times riddled with strife


Miracles are angelic
As if  being heaven sent
With wings and shining armor
Ever so benevolent

When they meet our gaze we stand in awe
As we watch them smoothe the toughest dent


They're always so simple
At times coming out of the blue
Some people may find them
While others just misconstrue

If anyone asked what my miracle was
I'd proudly announce it was you

Shy Miracles

Carchuleto, I like the idea of shy miracles. I like your suggestion that miracles may need to be sought if we are to realize them. The first stanza starts off well but I question how a salamandrine sky is shy. Your rhyme scheme is good and I like the sensitivity of this poem. I think the poem would be best served by the title if you left off ",You!" I think if you do, the reader will be left to anticipate the miracle, rather than knowing it right off. I look forward to reading more. Thank you, Lisa

Smooth feel good ...

True, Car, nice reading, smooth rhythm. The italics are well placed. This is a feel good poem :) The word misconstrued seems out of place for me as my eyes hung on it, can't help right now though. truly, Mark "some things change, some things do not" (if this is a multi post sorry the server ate my first)
